‘Mega’ Jazz Jam at Island City to benefit Winona Immigration Network
On Sunday, Dec. 19, 2021, the ‘Mega’ Jazz Jam will welcome all three Jazz at Saint Mary’s groups from 2:30-3:30 p.m. for their Jazz Final, and the regular Jazz Jam from 3:30-5:30 p.m., all in support of Winona Immigration Network.
In April, H3O Jazz Trio and Island City Brewing Company began raising funds for area non-profits as part of their popular monthly Jazz Jams. The continuing generosity of Jazz Jam patrons resulted in $600 being donated to the Winona Main Street Program in November, bringing total contributions to area non-profits to over $6,000 this year.
The Winona Immigration Network assists refugees from the southern border seeking asylum. On December 14th, the group plans to welcome a person from Colombia. The organization is sponsored by numerous area churches including Central Lutheran, Faith Lutheran, Cedar Valley Lutheran, First Congregational UCC and Grace Presbyterian in Winona and St Paul’s in Lewiston.
The afternoon will kick off with Saint Mary’s Workshop Jazz Combo, Jazz Combo 1, and Jazz Ensemble performing their Jazz Final from 2:30-3:30 p.m. All other “jammers” will have the option to perform from 3:30-5:30 p.m. (with or without masks) and all equipment will be sanitized.
Interested players can choose their tunes from a wide selection. Music is available from the Hal Leonard Real Book series, bring your own music, or just name that tune! Come early to grab a beverage, find a comfy spot in Island City’s taproom, and enjoy an afternoon of great jazz with H3O Jazz Trio … all while showing your support for our community!
An up-to-date schedule is always available at H3OJazz.com. The family-friendly Jazz Jam is free and open to all – young and not so young. Nominate your favorite local non-profit via H3O’s website. Please email events@islandcitybrew.com or info@h3ojazz.com for more information.
